What are these cables called?

nice343 · July 2007

what cable connects to the analog phone? and what port does it connect to on the router?

what would a sample configuration on the switch and the router be for both phones to communicate.

Thanks

The analog phone uses a standard 2 wire rj-11 for the connection, on the router it would plug into a FXS interface on a VWIC (depending on the model it may need a NM-1V to carry the VWIC). The configuration would require configuring dial peers to define the sessions.

This has some information on configuration of dial peers

66 blocks are indeed pretty cool. To be honest, I think the whole way analog phone systems work is cool in a way very much unlike the data world.

yes it is. seeing how these old tdm phone punch into bics blocks and get crossed connected is pretty cool. like the old norstar systems. the only bad part are some of them you have to program through the phone itself.
